The Pilgrims: A Brief Overview from Beginning to the End - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from The Pilgrims to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.

For over two centuries, the Pilgrims’ story was one told around the dinner table every year at Thanksgiving, and the people in that story became something of a myth. Yet the Pilgrims were just as real as you or me, and in 1620, they journeyed across the Atlantic to America, where they came to establish the second British colony in the New World.

The narrative of the Pilgrims has changed somewhat in the last fifty years. Since the 1970s, people have been asking questions about the second narrative, the narrative of the Wampanoag people, the native Americans who sat down opposite the Pilgrims that very first Thanksgiving all those hundreds of years ago. Each of these narratives is as important as the other, and the Pilgrims can’t really be understood without examining them in the context of the Wampanoag people and the direct impact both parties had on one another.
